A clever undergraduate, Grace N. Poise, hypothesizes that people
under 30 are more humorous than people over 30. She tests this
hypothesis by randomly selecting 4 people over 30 from the
telephone book and 4 people under 30 from university registration
lists. She gives each research participant the Humorous Speech
Scale, which measures humor on a Likert-type scale from 1 to 10.
The scores are listed below.
Based on the T score obtained in number 14 we would reject
the null hypothesis at the p=.005.
the T score is 3.098
